Heart monitor

8 1 1
                                    

Watching your heart monitor

Is the only thing keeping me alive

Even though I am dead inside.


Lifeless and pale,

I'm not sure how I am coping with this.

IV tubes plunged into our veins,

I wonder if you can feel the uncomfortable pain of them.


I made you a promise

And I intend to keep it.

But how much longer can I continue to promise the impossible?


Because the day you tried to take your life

Was the day I was too late to save you.
